Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways.
The story of projectors starts in the 17th century with the invention of the magic lantern. This device, often considered the first projector, used a simple oil lamp, a concave mirror, and painted glass slides to project images onto walls. The magic lantern became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries for entertainment and educational purposes, often showcasing images such as scenes from nature or historical events. These early projectors paved the way for future innovations in image projection.
Civil engineering has evolved and will continue to evolve with our technological advances and the need for more resilient and sustainable infrastructure.

The Imperial system is worse than metric, obviously, but there's a catch. The Imperial system was never designed to be a single system, and even then, the switch may be impossible.
Earthquake-proof construction otherwise known as Seismic Engineering, is manufacturing a building or structure that can withstand earthquakes. It lowers human deaths and gives more structural protection. Earthquakes are hazardous as they can shake buildings sometimes violently and sometimes usually. In this story you will learn about the materials used and required for Seismic Engineering.
